He's one of the hottest up-and-coming stars in Hollywood, and now "Twilight" star Cam Gigandet is back in theaters again as one of several psychologically fragile astronauts in the sci-fi thriller "Pandorum." But to hear him tell it, Cam's new bride is the one who had the most eventful existence during the film's Germany shoot.

In an interview sure to delight Cam's many "Twilight" Moms, the former vampire and new dad dropped by the MTV News studios earlier this week to talk about geeking out over Dennis Quaid, dealing with morning sickness and his epic quest to find a package of saltines.

MTV: So, Cam, "Pandorum" hits theaters this weekend.

Cam Gigandet: It does!

MTV: You've spoken about how the astronauts in this film, including yourself, »

Review of "The Legend of Pancho Barnes and the Happy Bottom Riding Club"

The Legend of Pancho Barnes isn’t much like your usual queer film festival documentary. In fact, its actual “queerness” is entirely ambiguous, but its subject: aviator, cross dresser and entertainer extraordinaire Florence “Pancho” Barnes, makes it all worthwhile.

Directed by Amanda Pope, it’s a thoroughly entertaining look at a very unconventional life. If all you know of Pancho Barnes comes from Kim Stanley’s portrayal of her in The Right Stuff, well, you’ve come to the right place.

There’s really no “legend” to speak of here, as the film is a straight-up documentary about our heroine. We begin with her childhood, circa 1905.

As a tomboy, Florence was a disappointment to her wealthy, Victorian mother. She originally played the part of the good girl, marrying a reverend, and having a son, but soon enough, she broke away with tradition. Like most »

Sam Shepherd Rung Up on DUI Charge

3 January 2009 12:50 PM, PST | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Talk about the wrong stuff. Sam Shepherd was busted Saturday in Illinois for drunken driving and speeding. The Right Stuff star told officers in the town of Normal that he had made a pitstop at a local watering hole before heading to a hotel around 2 a.m. He was pulled over for doing 46 in a 30 mph zone, and his blood-alcohol level registered twice the legal limit, police said. Shepard posted $300 and was released from the McLean County jail a few hours later, and he presumably resumed his road trip back the Kentucky home he shares with Jessica Lange. No court date has been scheduled. As an actor, Shepherd's best known for his Oscar-nominated turn as Chuck Yeager in The Right Stuff; other credits... »
